Samsung syncmaster 460p: Blank screen not accepting imput

\015 My samsung syncmaster 460p, i got it second hand, it turns on but i see a lighted black screen. i can't access the menu as far as i can tell since there is no reaction from the monitor, i tried all the imputs i could to no avail. is there a solution to this problem?\015

Answers :

Sethrae, If as far as you can tell the screen is not cracked, you might want to see a few videos of Philips LCD plasma TV's being repaired. Find the vid by "cal22583" who was able to replace some Electrolytic Filter Capacitors on a large power supply printed circuit board. These capacitors were also Swollen and bulging just like other caps found on power supplys inside LCD monitors for desktop computers. Do some research on 460PXn. Maybe you will even find a video of repairing a 460\015\012model??? If you find the cal22583 vid dated 08/08/09 read the comments below also. One note of caution though! Once you open up the unit......YOUR ON YOUR OWN!!! DON'T MAKE THE PROBLEM ANY WORSE THAN IT ALREADY IS. You will also need to DOCUMENT with digital stills before you take out any boards to inspect them for defective components and or bad or poor soldering. If you mark with different colors the cable connectors and sockets before you yank them off, it will make reassembly a lot easier. Report back with your findings by doing a comment to your post on fixya. Hope this response helps you out. If so please rate it on fixya. 12fixlouie bye for now.\015\012\015\012\015\012
